((most likely will add a little more later and I'll make it look nicer later as well))
Name: Damian Alvarez
Nickname: Alvarez
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Height: 6’4”
Crush: Velvet Summers
Role: Security Personnel
Skills:
▸ Specializes in defensive strategies, firearms, and melee combat.
▸ Weapons Expert: Proficient in ballistics, and improvised weaponry.
▸ Hand-to-Hand Combat: Close-quarters combat training with a focus on brutal efficiency.
▸ Situational Awareness: Highly trained in spotting threats, setting up defensive perimeters, and predicting ambushes.
▸ Survivalist Mindset: Knows how to hunt, track, and set traps in hostile environments.
Appearance: A rugged yet youthful man with short, slightly unkempt brown hair, cropped close on the sides but a little longer on top. His sharp green eyes hold a watchful intensity, always scanning his surroundings with quiet calculation. His tanned skin bears a few faint scars, hints of past skirmishes or survival challenges. He has a strong, athletic build, shaped by years of physical work and training. His usual attire consists of a durable tactical jacket, reinforced cargo pants, and a utility belt stocked with essential survival gear. His expression often shifts between serious focus and dry amusement, reflecting his pragmatic yet occasionally sarcastic nature.
Personality: Damian is a man of action over words. He doesn’t waste time with formalities, small talk, or sugarcoating things. If there’s a problem, he neutralizes it—whether it’s a hostile creature, a security breach, or a crew dispute getting out of hand. He carries an intense presence, and his resting face is practically a scowl. His voice is a little gravelly, and he’s always scanning the surroundings for threats. Even when he seems at ease, his muscles are coiled like a spring, ready to act in an instant. Damian sees the crew as his responsibility and will do whatever it takes to keep them alive—but don’t expect warm reassurances or hand-holding. His version of care is teaching you how to shoot straight and telling you to toughen up. If you get yourself killed, he takes it personally. After years of dealing with corporate lies, military cover-ups, and incompetent leaders, he’s learned that orders aren’t always right. He follows a chain of command only if it makes sense, and if someone’s making bad calls, he’s not afraid to challenge them. His humor is dry, dark, and often brutal. He’ll crack a joke in the middle of a firefight, but it’s usually something grim like: “Congratulations. You survived one day longer than I expected.” Damian doesn’t tolerate hesitation, excuses, or incompetence. If someone freezes up in a fight, he’ll shove them out of the way and handle it himself. If someone questions his survival methods, he’ll simply say: “Do it my way, or die. Your choice.” Despite his tough exterior, his past weighs on him heavily. He’s seen too many people die, and sometimes at night, when he thinks no one’s watching, he stares into the fire, lost in old memories.
History: Damian was born in a small town in Texas, growing up in a strict but structured household. His father was a career Army Ranger, and his mother was a trauma nurse. From a young age, discipline, preparedness, and physical conditioning were everyday life. As a teen, Damian was competitive and headstrong but never reckless. He wasn’t a troublemaker, but he never hesitated to stand his ground in a fight. He hated bullies, respected strength, and valued action over words.
At 18, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, following in his father’s footsteps. He quickly excelled in infantry and survival training, becoming a skilled field operative in: reconnaissance & evasion, rescue operations close-quarters combat. Damian served for 6 years, deploying to dense jungles, deserts, and mountainous terrain, where he learned to think fast, adapt, and survive with minimal resources. He wasn’t a high-ranking officer, but he was a natural leader in the field, trusted by his squad to make the right calls when things went south.
At 24, Damian left the Army and took his skills to the private sector, working high-risk security contracts. His jobs included:
▸ Protecting research teams in dangerous environments.
▸ Anti-poaching operations in Africa and South America.
▸ Disaster response & evacuation security in unstable regions.
Over the next five years, he built a reputation as a reliable, no-nonsense operator who knew how to keep people alive in extreme situations.
This mission was supposed to be a simple escort job—protect a team of scientists and engineers as they surveyed an uncharted, planet for potential colonization.Then the crash happened. Now, he’s stranded in an alien wilderness, surrounded by hostile wildlife, unknown threats, and desperate survivors.

▸ Tends to overanalyze situations, sometimes leading to slow decision-making in critical moments.
